Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Broxted
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. Common call-outs are for sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Broxted, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How we quote for glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Broxted, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broxted
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Broxted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Broxted homes and the weather
Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 1.4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Broxted has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Do you need glazing silicone in Broxted?
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
